A decision prohibiting the sale of bread inside the bakeries to anyone outside the regular office

The Ministry of Internal Trade and Consumer Protection issued a decision prohibiting the sale of bread outside the electronic card inside the bakeries to any person, regardless of his capacity.

Listen to the news with Nidal Maalouf.

The decision included not selling bread from outside the regular houses, with the imposition of severe penalties against violators.

This came after a circular issued recently by the Minister of Internal Trade and Consumer Protection, Amr Salem, aimed at preventing the trade in bread, after citizens complained about the overcrowding in bakeries caused by bread sellers who buy a large number of bundles and then sell them on the roads.

The government has approved the distribution of bread through the smart card in a number of governorates, and has also raised the price of bread to reach 200 pounds per bundle.

And last July, citizens’ allocations of bread were modified to be according to 8 slices instead of 4 slices, and a bundle of bread was allocated to a person every two days, two bundles every 3 days for a family consisting of two people, a daily bundle for a family consisting of 3 people, and two bundles a day for a family consisting of 4-6 people.

The government is facing a crisis in the provision of flour, due to its high value and shipping costs, as a decision was recently issued to raise the selling price of a ton of subsidized flour to 40 thousand pounds.
